      Verdict

      Darcey was ending a long losing run when scoring at Chepstow last week and is back up in the weights, while Valmina's recent wins have been on the Polytrack. Mary's Pet arrives on the back of a win over 6f and she could figure if allowed an easy lead, though Ginzan still looks a shade high in the weights judged on his latest placed effort here. MY METEOR scored over 5f here on his latest start and had won over C&D earlier. David Kenny's claim wipes out a rise in the weights and the four-year-old looks capable of following up in this company.
